Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and Korean Air change their game in the second half of the V League

"There are three more games left."

The men's team of the V-League has turned the tables in a completely different game from what it expected before the opening of the season. Woori Card, which was initially classified as an underdog, is in the lead. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which was the lowest-ranked team last season, briefly slowed down in the second round and secured the second place by posting five wins and one loss in the third round. It is tied with Korean Air, which is ranking third overall, with 34 points, but is one step ahead in terms of wins.

Unlike Korean Air, which does not rely on specific players, foreign players played a big role in making strides in the first half of the year between Woori Card and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance. Mattei Uri Card and Yosbani Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance displayed remarkable attack capabilities. In 18 games in the first half, Yosbani scored 537 points 52.34% at No. 1 in offense success rate and Mattei scored 479 points 53.07 percent at No. 3. As a result, setters Han Tae-joon Uri Card, 27.7 percent and Noh Jae-wook Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, 26.9 percent were able to have fun by flying the ball to the taste of the main gun, which boasts strong attack capability, even though the ratio of running sets tosses to places where there is no opponent blocker or one player was not high. 스포츠토토

The top three teams may have a duel between a spear and a shield over a foreign player in the second half. Samsung seems to have found a solution through Yosbani in the Woori Card game in the second and third rounds. Yosbani scored 68 points in the two games. As a result, Samsung was able to lead Woori Card with two wins and one loss in the first half.

In contrast, Korean Air lost all of its first to third rounds to Woori Card. In particular, Mattei scored 47 points 53.85% in the first round match against Korean Air. "There are quite a few inexperienced players in our team like Mattei and Han Tae-jun, and three consecutive wins against Korean Air at a time when they could lose confidence will be a big boost to the players," said Shin Young-chul, head coach of Woori Card. "We have three more games to play against Woori Card. We will thoroughly analyze the situation and play again in the second half," Korean Air coach Tommy Tilikain said.
